    Coaches BHS help please!

    Ok. So recently I have gotten a new assistant and today he goes to spot her on her BHS and I have warned him about it., but he wanted to see it. Today it just finally clicked!! She didn't pike and had it by herself by the end of practice! She even tried a RO BHS with no PIKE!! I was super pumped...

    Coaches BHS help please!

    So I have two gymnasts that just don't arch in their BHS. I have done the sit jump back to a tight arch on their back onto a porta pit and cheese mat folded up. I have used the resilite rolls and in both of those drills they arch nicely. It's just when we bring them to the cheese mat they jump...

    Does anybody know how to get rid of bruises fast ?

    Ice 20 Mins, heat 20 Mins, and massage a little and repeat. It gets the blood flowing so it doesn't stay pooled in one area. :)

    Coaches Neat item to try out.

    I wouldn't use this, but for shoulder stretching on Beam we use dowels. They put them behind their backs thumbs on the ends and lift up where their arms would be if presenting/saluting. They do their warm-up with them and try to push the dowel back as far as they can. I've seen others using them...

    MN adult?

    Thanks for both of your responses! I looked at the website you gave however, I coach at that time on Wednesdays. :( I wish my gym did an adult class! :) I would love to compete again I just don't think there is anywhere around here that do adult competitions so I'll settle for just doing skills...

    MN adult?

    I was a former Gymnast about 5ish years ago and would LOVE to get back into it! Does anyone know any place in MN that has an adult program? I'm looking more for a place I can practice some skills and still participate in the sport that I love. Any info would be appreciated. :)

    Just venting...

    Yeah that does not sound like a good position to be in. :( At least she got her back tumbling back and I'm sure you showed her how excited you were when you were in the car or at home!

    Respect Issues

    Since I replied to your other post I didn't want to seem like I was picking on you so I would say respect does go both ways. If you show them you are willing to listen and respect their word then they may give you more positive attention. So you mentioned twice that there is a new coach taking a...

    Am i crazy?

    I agree with some of lasswadecoach. I do seem to wonder when you say you had other coaching issues that maybe it could be your attitude. Don't get me wrong I have no idea the whole situation however, if one of my gymnasts had told me 'No' I would tell them ok then there is the door change and go...
